    Gee Paul, so you were never a best buy pilot???? I wonder how you got your first drone and what laws were already in place to make it very difficult for you to enjoy your hobby?? Oh that's right there were only laws PROTECTING your rights to do so back then...

    Our country is turning into a 'nanny state' full of too much government with way too many complex rules and regulations. We are drowning in over regulation. One party in particular loves ever expanding government to 'keep us safe'. Get out and vote people.

      @@46ace I agree with you - vote red. BUT - we have to remember that the majority of the leaders of both parties are completely sold out and controlled by globalist, international corporations. They are both completely corrupt. This isn't about "safety" this about money, and elitists that want to cut out as much competition as they can. In the coming civil war, "drones" will play a big part in battle too. Just like guns, a drone is a threat to the authoritarian tyrants because even the smallest toy quad copters are a potent tool for war. They want to know who owns them, the same as the guns, so they can know who to target when the time is right.

    As of 6/21/2019, still no LAANC, no flying in FAA Controlled Air Space, and In a recent blog by Steel City Drones Flight Academy, they brought in a legal adviser who pointed out that there is tort law regarding flight over private property, which protects the property rights of land owners, up to an altitude of approx 400-500 ft agl. This has led to a real mess of understanding the legal issues, and It seems to me that what the FAA is attempting to do with the recent reorganization, is to separate themselves (wash their hands) from flights below 400 ft in uncontrolled airspace, and by their own admission leaving the enforcement of CBO restrictions up to Local authorities. The FAA requirement to maintain 400 ft, is to establish that they will only enforce the regs of 400 ft to maintain a 100 ft clearance with other aircraft. They are not so much establishing a max altitude, but a minimum altitude of FAA enforcement. The idea that you can take off/land a drone from public right a way, and then fly over private airspace is presented as not being true, unless you get the approval of all those affected land owners. The controlling agency in FAA Airspace, is the FAA, and they are saying you will not get approval to fly there, so don't even try to call ATC. There really is no motivation to bring hobbyist into the LAANC, since they really don't want hobbyist in controlled airspace. The controlling agency in the FAA non-controlled airspace, is the private land owner since you will have to fly below the 400 ft. cap, so good luck there. The knowledge test, will establish that you are informed and now subject to FAA and LEO enforcement.. In other words, all air space, is not federally regulated, as some are assuming, but all air space is regulated by someone. What say you?

      @Rusty Grill you do realize every time you fly that drone that DJI keeps a record of exactly where you're flying it right? Nobody is saying that the black SUVs are going to pull up and arrest you, but there is some sort of risk that may happen if you continuously fly where you're not supposed to seeing that DJI already has all your information in the flight record? Just my opinion.

    I completely disagree with you guys. I've been a hobbyist for 25 years I flew fixed-wing for many years transitioned into drones about 5 years ago have always followed all the rules and regulations, and because of a bunch of people that are able to follow the rules correctly we have to all suffer! This is an invasion of privacy! We need to have transponders on her drones now come on are you kidding me? They have completely destroyed the hobby as we know it! I have already began liquidating my drones, and will be transitioning back into RC cars and trucks until they decide they want to regulate those as well! So much for the United States democracy!

    Think about the history of the automobile. nobody calls them horseless carriages anymore. As our roads became congested, driving got more complicated. It was no longer just about getting to where you were going. If our drones get below the 250 gram limit, expect registration to be required for toys! Of course, that will kill the experience for most kids and intensify the future pilot shortages. Just imagine getting on a Boeing 373 jazz and being told by the flight attendant bot the pilot bot has had the latest firmware upgrade!

    News flash not all hobbyists were flying all willy-nilly all over the place. There are those of us flying at a sanctioned club field under AMA regulations. Some of the most irresponsible drone activities I've seen were from a so called pro at droneworks flying over Houston as a hobbyist for a video that wasn't monetized but that wouldn't make it right for me to generalize all commercial UAS pilots the way you did hobbyists. Sadly though there are some serious fools out there though with no regard for rules and regulations let alone general safety guidelines.

They made an announcement at InterDrone talking about their work on the Dronecode platform and developing products that are open source for use by goverment agencies specifically.
